Hello, all:

Please excuse my absence, but my grandmother, who had been ill for two years, got progressively worse during the past few weeks, and before 6:00 a.m. yesterday, she passed away. She was 96. I realize she lived a long life, and the Alzheimer's disease and dementia didn't really affect her until she was about 93, but this doesn't make losing her any easier. She was a wonderful, grandmother, as was my other grandmother who passed in 2003. Now I have no grandparents left at all. For those so inclined, please say a prayer. Thanks.

William

I feel you. My last grandparent passed away a couple of months ago.

Unfortunately, I also know how it feels to to lost your last grandparent.

William I am so sorry for your loss. I have been dealing with unexpected illness in my family (my mom) for the past 2 weeks and though difficult, there is no comparison. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

William, how blessed you are to have had someone like your grandmother in your life, and for such a long time. She will always be a part of your world because love never dies.

Thanks again, everyone. Please excuse my absence. I should be back in the game a week from Monday. I'm taking a much-needed holiday. We had a lot of stuff to settle re my grandmother's estate and the like.
